An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Chuzhou Ferry, Caobang headquarters.

The news of Shi Huiming's death has long been spread, and it has been four days since today. The hall masters and various heads who came from all over the place finally got together to discuss how to resolve the matter after Shi Huiming's death.

There are a total of five leaders in the Cao Gang. The big leader, the gang leader Shi Huiming, is dead. The responsibility for taking charge of the overall situation naturally falls on the remaining four leaders.

In the lobby, the second master Cai Shuang and the third master He Weixian sat in the main seat. They were old, senior and prestigious. Although he has little power, he can still hold his own in such a big matter.

Hua Cong, the fourth master, and He Shen, the fifth master, were sitting on the left and right respectively, with the hall leaders of their respective factions sitting behind them. Hua Cong, the fourth head of the family, is mainly responsible for the business on the river. He has money but no one. After all, one boat can't hold many people. The fifth master, He Shen, was in charge of the porters and watermen on the shore, who were the ones who unloaded, moved and inventoried the goods. Although there were many people, there was not much oil and water.

Hall masters in different regions support different objects, but they are basically the fourth or fifth master. The main reason is that the second leader and the third leader are too old and withdraw from the competition for gang leader early. Now that Shi Huiming is gone, the two leaders with their own power will naturally compete for the position of the leader. After all, as long as he is promoted and a leader position becomes available, as long as he arranges his own people, the Caogang will basically have the final say.

Cai Shuanghe first drank tea and remained silent. They had no power of their own and could not afford to offend others.

There were constant whispers on the left and right sides, and the two groups were chirping and shouting, and they could be heard clearly outside the door.

"The second boss, the third boss, and the first boss were killed by traitors. Although we are extremely sad, the Cao Gang cannot live without the boss. Let's choose a boss with both ability and political integrity as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation." Hua came from behind. cried the Lord.

"That's right, all the dragons are leaderless." Hua Hua gathered the responders from behind. The situation really made him think that he was going to force him into the palace.

Several hall leaders behind He Shen sneered, "Ha, what you say is better than what you sing. You haven't passed the first seven of the Stone Gang leaders yet? You just want to choose the leader. Where is your conscience? Did you throw it into the river? Or did you feed it to the dogs?"

There were many people on He Shen's side, and the momentum became even louder. They all accused the other party of not knowing the general situation.

Hua Cong's hand holding the tea cup paused. He had to stand up for these brothers who were making great efforts, so he said loudly, "Brothers, the leader of the Stone Gang wants the Cao Gang to be prosperous. Have we even forgotten the words of the leader of the Stone Gang? Selected Only when you are in charge can Caobang make a smooth transition, and Caobang cannot be in chaos! "

These words were said so loudly that even the hall master on He Shen's side who just started to sneer could not refute.

"Fourth Leader, don't rush for a few days. What? What did Gang Leader Shi do to the brothers? Have they all forgotten?" Hua Cong considered the overall situation, and He Shen dismissed it with friendship, wanting to make the final decision, but there was no way. !

Seeing that the situation was tense, Cai Shuang had no choice but to say, "The funeral of Gang Leader Shi is of course important, but it is equally important to choose the new leader. Don't judge him in terms of left and right, now is the time to choose the new leader!"

"Yes, the Cao Gang's affairs are a big deal and cannot be taken lightly. I have already sent people to prepare for the funeral of Gang Leader Shi. Choosing a new leader early will also give Gang Leader Shi an explanation. At least Shi Gang Leader can leave with peace of mind." He Wei Xian saw Cai Shuang speak, so naturally he could not remain silent.

The two groups were silent for a while, then they broke into even louder noises. The two sides are in tit-for-tat confrontation. You blame me for my shortcomings, but I pay tribute to your shortcomings.

Cai Shuang and He Wei first looked at each other in the main seat, feeling helpless. They could be peacemakers, but if it was anything else, they couldn't even decide, let alone participate. It is sad to have no power!

The two sides argued for a while before they calmed down. This time, it was He Shen who spoke first, "The second and third leaders are in charge. I don't think there's any need to bother. The brothers will vote. The one who wins the hearts of the people will win the world!"

Before Cai Shuang and Cai Shuang could react, the person from Hua Cong shouted, "No, there are so many of you, it's not fair!"

"Doesn't the large number of people mean that the fifth leader wins the hearts of the people? What? When did the Caobang become a unified party?"

"Then we brothers are all dead? In my opinion, let the hall master vote to save time and effort!"

"Heh, what are you planning to do that your brothers don't know about? Isn't it just that you have a few bad guys?"

The two parties were going back and forth, and the two masters listened quietly, with no intention of ending the fight.

Cai Shuang looked at He Weixian and could only smile helplessly. He Weixian shook his head and signaled Cai Shuang to leave it alone. There was nothing they could do about this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, the two of them wanted to stay out of the matter, but the people below didn't allow it.

He Shen drank the tea cup, stood up first, cupped his hands and said, "The second in charge, the third in charge, you have to come up with an idea. We are a Cao Gang, not brothers."

These words were quite heart-wrenching. Hua Cong also understood the irony in his words. He smiled and stood up, "I don't like to hear what Master He said, and neither do the brothers! Things within the gang, It’s also every brother’s business. It’s so hurtful to say things like separation!”

Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, He Shen did not dare to speak again for a while, but the hall master behind him, waving his fan, smiled and said, "Isn't that what Master Hua meant? Let the brothers decide. It's not good. This is not separating the family from the brothers." What is it?”

He Shen was overjoyed after hearing this. He was such a talented person. He didn't expect such a tactic to shift the blame. On the Hua Cong side, there was a dead silence. They could not admit that this was a family division, nor could they agree with the method of having more people. They did not have an advantage!

Thinking of this, Hua Cong hurriedly made up his mind, "It's not that I don't agree with Mr. He's idea..."

After a pause, he continued, "It's just that there are not many brothers on my river, but we have made a lot of contributions to the gang! If we only count the heads, then what are my brothers? We are also members of the Cao Gang!"

After saying this, Hua Cong breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't talk about the heads, but only about the contributions, otherwise he would be at a loss!

He Shen had nothing to say. In terms of making money, the laborers behind him would not make as much as Hua Cong made from a few boat trips even if they worked themselves to death.

The atmosphere froze for a while. Both sides had their own reasons, and they were not wrong. They both stood firm in the righteousness, and there was no way to gain an advantage.

"Alas," Cai Shuang sighed, and in this quiet moment, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Standing up with the help of a chair, Cai Shuang said helplessly, "I have a suggestion, you can listen to it."

"Please speak, second in command," He Shen sat down and said lightly.

"Please give me some face. Since the leader was killed by a villain, let's make a gentleman's agreement. Whoever catches the murderer first will be the next leader, the next leader. How about that?" Cai Shuang raised his voice, his tone sincere and earnest.

Hua Cong looked back at the various hall masters behind him, and they all nodded in agreement. He Shen turned around and discussed with the people behind him.

After a moment, the two turned back at the same time and nodded to Cai Shuang, which was considered an agreement.

"Since everyone agrees, then before the murderer is found, the heads will act as the leaders. I and He will send one person, plus Hua and He, how about that?"

"Okay," Hua Cong and He Shen spoke at the same time, but there was a different light in their eyes.
